CHICAGO — The FBI raided powerful Chicago Ald. Ed Burke’s City Hall office for the second time in two weeks.

The FBI’s Chicago office told WGN News it does not comment on anything it may or may not be investigating. In the past, the alderman has said that he’s cooperated with investigations in the past, will cooperate with this one and is confident no wrongdoing will be found.

"What can I say? I've done nothing wrong, and I've always cooperated with investigations in the past, and I will continue to do so," Burke told WGN's Nancy Loo Friday morning.

The feds generally have an unwritten rule not to take this kind of action against politicians seeking re-election

Burke is facing a significant challenge in the Feb. 26 aldermanic race.

Some political observers suggested that these raids mark the end of an investigation, not the beginning, and believe an indictment may be coming soon.

There has been a lot of speculation since the first raid about what the investigation related to, as he has done property tax work for the Trump Organization. However, this investigation is run by the U.S. Attorney’s Office out of Chicago.

On Wednesday, Former Chicago Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans went on-the-record with the Chicago Sun-Times, alleging that Alderman Burke worked repeatedly to inappropriately pressure her and her staff on airport business.
